About the talk:
Gender and Justice is a new feminist international and transdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing critical scholarship on justice in the social sciences, and from different methodological perspectives. The journal has its origins in the Law, Gender and Sexuality Research Network (LEX), a hub for sharing research, fostering collaboration and nurturing dialogue on a range of issues that relate to and shape feminist research on the intersection of gender, sexuality and justice globally. Combined these fora are focused on generating critical debates for achieving social transformation through a feminist politics of ‘good trouble’. As the Co-Editors-in-Chief of Gender and Justice, the question is: what does ‘good trouble’ mean for us?
First, it reflects our feminist commitment to addressing the forms of inequality, injustice and violence that impact upon people’s lives at a variety of times and scales. Secondly and because of this, it means that we will strive to create new conceptual and methodological approaches to our research and practice that can advance knowledge in the field and inform activism through social justice.
In this session, we accept the Feminist Jurisprudence Discussion Groups’ invitation to share our experiences of developing and realising a new feminist journal. Specifically, we will discuss the challenges that feminists face in creating, nurturing and sustaining vital publishing platforms for championing and advancing international and transdisciplinary feminist research on justice in the social sciences, and from different methodological perspectives. In sharing these experiences, the Gender and Justice editorial team looks towards a more hopeful future.
About the speakers:

Her main areas of expertise are criminal law and criminal justice (in particular gender based violence), family law and feminist/gender theory. Prof Carline’s research is socio-legal, comparative and interdisciplinary in nature, examining legal developments by drawing upon a range of social science and legal methodologies and different theoretical approaches. She has published extensively on the issues of rape and sexual assault, prostitution and trafficking and domestic homicide. Her work includes the development and adoption of new materialist theoretical perspectives to explore the space of criminal justice. This has included reconceptualising the court room as an affective assemblage and examining the affects which flow amongst the differentially situated bodies of the criminal court space.
